This exhibit focuses on the beauty of trees which are celebrated annually during Cherry Blossom season. Artists from the DC metro area, VA and MD are invited to submit along with art images a short artist’s statement that includes identifying the tree that has inspired their work and/or any personal connection to it.

The Capitol Hill Art League presents our annual, juried (for members only), all media exhibition called Joie de Vivre.

On September 22 and 24 please bring your artwork for jurying to Capitol Hill Arts Workshop BEFORE the annual members and new members meeting. We have an excellent juror and she will have the tough task of narrowing down all the entries to what she feels illustrates: Joie de Vivre! Her judging will be early October and you will be notified of the results via email from the steering committee email: chalartists@gmail.com

Juror: Kat Jamieson. Theme: Joie de Vivre, (Joy of Living), is a French phrase used to express a cheerful enjoyment of life; an exultation of spirit.
